Persimmons were still quite green when I picked them, as the birds had already gotten to the ripe ones first.

They also have very thick skin compared to store bought persimmons, which might be a good think, as I only found superficial damage and just one bug near their weakest part around the calyx

Guavas on the other hand... let's just say I won't need any extra protein in my diet for a while
